I keep my fabric bought for specific projects and patterns together in a cabinet. The same goes for UFO's; if I have already cut material, made blocks etc, I keep it with the pattern or a note of the name of the pattern in a plastic bag. What I am concerned about is our cross-country move this summer. It is a military move so we have a company come pack and move us. I will have to stay in my sewing room when they pack all that fabric up. I can see those guys taking stuff out of plastic bags because they only need a bit of fabric to fill some corners in a box or separating my stacks of coordinating fabrics
